Lefferts Animal Hospital

Lefferts Animal Hospital was incredibly kind and supportive during one of the hardest moments of my life. I opened the card you sent and immediately started crying, it meant more to me than you probably realize. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the entire team for making this end-of-life process a little less painful. This was my first time ever losing a dog (my family) and the grief truly feels different. Max was my childhood dog and I took him everywhere, so it’s been extremely hard not having him around. Thank you for helping me with the arrangements and for the compassion you showed throughout the process. Your care and kindness genuinely touched my heart, and it shows in every member of the staff. Thank you again for everything.

The staff has been amazing with my reactive dog! Considerate and helpful, we will keep coming back. My Daryll does not even want to leave the vet and will just sit outside of it after his appointments!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this animal hospital and the care they provided for our beloved cat Kiki. The doctors were always informative, honest, and reliable, taking the time to explain everything clearly and offering alternative treatment options when appropriate. A special thank you to Dr. Mittal, who was incredibly compassionate, kindhearted, and caring throughout Kikis final battle with cancer. During such a difficult time, Dr. Mittal and the entire staff treated both our cat and our family with genuine empathy and respect. When the time came to say goodbye, the hospital gave us all the time we needed and showed an incredible amount of support and understanding. Their kindness did not end there as they later sent us a handwritten condolence card along with our cat’s nose and paw prints. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that brought us comfort during our grief. We are very grateful for the exceptional care, compassion, and support we received.

They don’t tend to reptiles anymore, but they were nice to check my tortoise out because I went there a few years before for my turtle. I told them the situation about the beak around his mouth that he may be having trouble eating cause he stopped eating and they could not even check it because my tortoise was a fighter was hiding in the shell so they couldn’t give a proper of observation, but they told me that they don’t think that it’s severe to get trimmed down that it’s just hibernated so just put it in warm water from time to time , And see how it goes, but my major issue is that they charge me $140 I think that’s a whole lot just to tell me how to take care of the turtle. It’s not like they gave him medicine or did any treatment to it. I know you get charged for Service I was prepared to pay A estimate of $40-$60 but $140 that’s outrageous For just Give me pointers on how to keep it warm that’s why it loses 2 stars.

Today was one of the scariest days of my life. Ava hasn’t been feeling well for a few days so I assumed it was a stomach virus. Until… she was throwing up blood! I panic and freaked out I called Lefferts animal clinic explaining what happened & without hesitation they told me to bring her in. They took her right away. Thank you so much!! I’m still crying because she is my baby. She took her medicine and I gave her a bath. She had boiled chicken with rice and seems like she a little better. I’m hoping for a positive outcome with the blood results and urine.

I have been taking my dog coco to lefferts for quite some time now. Coco is 4 years old and she is a poodle mix. She recently had an emergency where she had a stone in her bladder and she couldn't urinate. I went immediately as an emergency to lefferts and Andrea the manager made sure that coco was able to have surgery the next morning. She was compassionate and so helpful in every way. Brianna and Caitlin who work the front desk are amazing. They are sweet, kind and so helpful. I couldn't have gotten through this without them. The doctors are amazing and the entire staff. Emily has been great with coco as well. She is very helpful. Coco is doing amazing thanks to everyone at lefferts. I am blessed and grateful to Andrea, Brianna, Caitlin and the entire team for taking care of coco bean and for being there for me. Thank you so so much.

I came on here thinking it was the new clinic Dr. Halpern was in & mistakenly clicked the old clinic . I realized a few reviews that caught my eye & kind of pissed me off & I truly wish Dr. Halpern was still at Lefferts. I have followed him everywhere he has moved because I trust him 1000% with my animals. I cannot speak about other doctors here because I’ve had different experiences with most of them and I’m not here to leave a bad review. I am only leaving 5 starts for HIM. For over 15 years, not once have I doubted Dr. Halpern’s care, judgment, or integrity. He has treated and helped over 40 of my own pets, as well as animals belonging to my family and friends. Every single time, he has been professional, compassionate, honest, and direct. He does not rush to diagnose just to give an answer, he takes the time to figure out the actual problem, and he usually does so quickly and accurately. Even in emergencies, he is the first person I call. He has never guided me in the wrong direction and always works with me to find the best options for my pet and my financial situation. Before believing negative accusations online, I encourage people to look at long-term client experiences here AND in other locations he has been . I would trust Dr. Halpern with any animal I bring in — without hesitation. If he ever moved far away, I would literally travel to continue having him care for my pets. That’s how much confidence I have in him. I highly recommend looking into Dr. Halpern’s education, professional history, and LEVEL of experience before believing claims that simply don’t align with the care he consistently provides. By far the best veterinarian I have ever encountered, and I will always appreciate the dedication and heart he brings to his work.
